Four in a Line brings quick recall and simple strategy together. Pupils practise times tables or division facts to claim counters on the board, then try to make four in a row while blocking their opponent. Choose the 1 to 12 multiplication or division facts, play two-player or against the computer, or use the traditional version as a no-questions strategy game.
